be confident!

Ill watch it full length when i get around to it. Just know that your effort is very much appreciated and i always value your insights.

Idk ls your voice + knowledge combo is a lethal attraction

if there was twitch chat it would perform much better it helps keep it more entertaining while not detracting from the informative nature of the content.

any chance u could include time stamps for a video of this lengths? at least as to which part of the video deals with which game's draft?

Solo killed Faker btw

Does this video have any relevance for anyone other than pro players and analysts btw lol?

mean

i feel that. like deep in my bones

Could you put the game in question in the description? I'd like to see how it plays out after this analysis.

@@LastFrostman . .

this deserves to get pinned

I hated that he tried to force these stupid MTG categories into discussing champions, but when it's actually spelled out it makes a lot of sense. Shame I have to go to youtube comments or play MTG to figure out what the fuck he's saying.

4thot I mean, I know its kinda weird at the start but actually it has a lot of sense. Just imagine team comps are decks from a TCG, if your deck is monored or aggro (like early game champions that need to win in less than 30 min) you can just win by not loosing, if you're the "control deck" you win at the moment you stabilize and outscale the early game champs.

@@4thot He is going to make a video where he talks about colours in detail, he is waiting to do the video with some MTG pros he knows that also play league of legends.

Draven would also be under the black / red category no?

LS bat confirmed?

The Richard Turner of league of legends

It's tough to follow, I agree. Everything is conditional and you can't know every condition at all times. There's a massive amount of information that it's easy to overload the listener. It's great info...just...too MUCH info all at once.

@@Obi1Classic This is for people who actually do draft analysis why watching the LCS or any of the other regions. It is a lot of information, but it’s up to you to pick up what information he gives is useful to you. It’s also dependent on your learning archetype whether you absorb the information in a way that makes sense for you to digest.

U one braincell away from having none buddy

he just assumes a lot of knowledge else this video would be 4h instead of just 2h

It's magic the gathering download the game and play for few hours and you will understand what the colors mean or watch 10 min video of LS explaining the colors it's on KZfaq

The colors are based of Magic The Gathering's color scheme. He has a video somewhere explaining each color which you can look up.

cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/535496003806298143/630039650194685952/Untitled.png LS interpretation of colors. Pick up MTG:Arena and figure things out for yourself. I've also started playing mtga like 2 weeks ago, it's really easy, fun and not really as expensive as i thought.

The best place to start is understanding that what you play is a choice! The next is understanding that every character choice offers questions to ask your opponent but it does not mean those questions are unique; they may not be any different from another champion choice. And meaningful; they may not influence the game because of context. What this summates to is drafting where you have to balance asking your opponent questions to win the game with giving your team the agency to answer your opponents questions. In the first game LS major point of criticism was of the aatrox first pick and both team's poor response/follow up to it. Aatrox is a bursty drain tank, he likes tools that help him stick on targets a good example of a perfect champion to supplement this is Sejuani. In addition Aatrox is vulnerable early because of long cooldowns and he falls off after 2 items because his damage and drain is beaten out by carries at 3 items. So in addition to the passive she gives Aatrox to stick on targets she also hits the map hard on 3 cheap items to more than make up for his weakness. But TSM doesn't choose to supplement this choice in anyway and FLY doesn't offer that efficient of an answer like poppy who aatrox quite literally can't ever kill and who doesn't need much gold get her items.

@@SuperCaelum I want to add that the association of "speed" with blue is unique to League and not remotely reflected in magic color wheel.

I have Calculus 2 this semester and that's so true KEKW

it was the beginning LULW

Unless you dont even know what MTG is

Holden Fraser Said no one ever

@@Tacet137 i didnt, but you can read the cheatsheet linked in LS chat and quickly understand it.

@@franciscos.2301 It makes sense after you know what the colors are.

@@m4ng4n where is that?

Fast forward to TSM's current drafts. They didn't learn a damn thing.

@@Patrick-go8ub ahahah

I mean most coaches at some point just give the fuck up and pick whatever their players want to pick or what he thinks they must go to or else they will get flamed. Everyone thinks that Aaaaaatrox is a carry and if they pick tanks like Poppy on him everyone will flame if they lose the game. Same thing that happened with Dardoch, as if Elise and Lee Sin are good if you are not C9 or Svenskeren.... My problem is that TSM seem unpractised to everything, seriously. Kobbe can play 3-4 champs, Broken Blade is default Aatrox the whole split, Dardoch is really shit and was just lucky the 4th game, Biofrost was put on Nautilus duty in nearly every game i think? And then you have Bjergsen that picks Ekko mid because he thinks that melee champs have synergy with Seju, in game 5..... I agree with what Loco said, Bjergsen and Dardoch look as if they built 0 synergy in the entire split and if you have all these months to do sth like that and learn new shit but instead decide to troll Maokai mid instead of Kobbe expanding his pool or them trying to bring mages on bot lane, well yeah... Don't blame anyone else but you. Also Bjergsen is your boss (i say this for the rest of the players and coaches) and that is not good.

@@evangelosalexiou3605 loco is fucking mental there is a reason why he has no followers anymore and players dont pick everything. Bjergson is not their boss either, there has not been a single fucking player that said they felt pressured by him in fact every player praises him for being the best teammate yoou can have.

well, LS was a coach for like tempo storm or something. and they were bad so.....

@Pieter Buelens as someone who coaches at a semi pro level taking all these things into consideration on a very small timer is INCREDIBLY difficult. you are talking about being able to see synergies between over 100 different champions knowing which ones your team is comfortable on and making sure each of those picks are good into the enemy team and also aren't just dog champions. LS makes very insightful videos but he also has the advantage of no pressure (he makes a mistake it has no impact) hindsight (he sees the outcome already and can play through) and unlimited time (doing this thought process in 40 seconds is incredibly hard) he also doesnt have to see the played out some of his decisions are great on paper but the way it would actually play out can sometimes be very different. TSM drafts do have win conditions but flyquest managed to pick appart how tsm want to play their draft its also massively down to execution bc if tsm play to their win conditions better than flyquest play to theirs they can win that game. There is a reason ls keeps using the term "in a vacuum". Just as a disclaimer none of this is a slight on LS its a great video very insightful and people can learn a huge amount from it, I certainly did, but there is so much more that needs to be considered around it.

@@jimmyknox2718 thank you for your insight man and the time you spent writing something this big, appreciated truly

No chance. That org has awful infrastructure.

@@Mravenrocks they only won game 1 because fly play bad and bj makes 2 or 3 hero plays

Isn't it ironic how one of the biggest draft blunders of the split was also FLY vs TSM. Remember that 10k gold "throw"? Yeah that was another TSM shitty draft, and surprise surprise it had Aatrox as well. TSM has had some of the worst drafting of the split, but their individual skill is just better than most teams.

@@Mravenrocks No I agree. The talent has done their best despite managements efforts to keep them down.

I wouldn't say its just the coaching staffing. I think the players have a lot of say. Aka bjerg in mic checks telling the coach he wouldn't play something and picked something else. Him pushing this as a star player ties the hands of ownership and the coaching staff.

I wish others would do this to my channel :(

bump

watch it full on 1.25 speed, it gives more information in short time what makes the Video feel way quicker, so u can watch the whole 2 hours without getting bored, 1.25/1.5 speed is really OP for these Videos

@@tobismusicstuff while not understanding half of it pepehands

@@cheyhey2170 its not even hard to understand, what do you mean?

@@tobismusicstuff im pretty sure like 90% of viewers dont understand it, even on normal speed. to clarify; i meant ACTUALLY understanding the reasons etc, not the words :P

Cheyhey yes i got what u meant and I still think it’s not so hard to understand

Ban what they play in clash. This doesnt work for something like clash cuz the players in clash either cant play any champ or just a small amount of champs.

@@klauskeller6380 Or they just randomly swap Roles when u ban their Champs and someone else goes the Lane, happend so often to me xd

@@bluecrwn8051 well then they dont know how to play the whole lane so you should always win

@@klauskeller6380 Simply banning what they play is a start, but my team have a pool of champs they can play, many of them have synergy but knowing which champs to pick first or picks that counter the enemy comp while complementing our own team is still really useful

@@collamus6901 which elo you are playing in?

To be fair, he wasn't supposed to be head coach

You might say AATROXIOUSLY. Ok ill go now.

张桓瑜 Head coach usually isnt the one who does drafts. Usually the assistant coach is put on the drafting spot

its parth dude pz doesnt really control draft

draft wont make that big of a diff/the reaaons arent given in soloQ

I dont know LS ranting and talking trash to idiotic twitch chatters is part of his character and I find it super funny when he does it, I think he knows that people are trolls, but it's part of interaction and humor

Ikr? People talk about rioters being paid for incompetence, these shitters can't even draft for shit

If your Shy pick Aatrox. If you are not consider picking sth. else.
